At the end of a long day, there isn't anything else I look forward to quite so much as shedding the day's worries along with that pair of pinching shoes or restricting garment. Slipping into my most comfortable set of pajamas to relax with my favorite classic film or newest good read seems to naturally make the world seem just a bit brighter.

And if there is one thing that I could point to that I believe showcases vintage designer's superiority, I would have to say that they really knew how to create sleepwear.

So, whether you are a glamorous nightgown-wearing sort of girl or prefer that classic set of pj's, hopefully you'll find some vintage inspiration here!

Enjoy!

I love this photo!

This is such a soft, classic example of a nightgown.I think any girl would love to have its swirlingskirt about her feet!

This model's cute, perky ponytail matches thepersonality of her nightgown to a tee!

As cute as this look is, it's the pj's and robeof the little boy in the background that have reallycaptured my attention. How cute can you get?

The shape and styling of this pair of pajamasreally seems oh-so classic America to me.

The interesting thing to note here, I think,is how vintage designs so often pair comfort and style.

Isn't she cute?

I love the look of her much too big pajamas!

I think this darling set of pajamas (foreground)is a perfect example for those who think that pajama"pants" sets can only be "boyish."

Scallops, tiny bows, and a belted waist are only afew of the many details that make this a feminineand pretty look!

Girl next door personified.

More "apron" styling.

Look at all of the detailing!

This nightgown is so exquisite...

This sort of glamorous, dainty styleis a definite vintage specialty.

And look at those slippers!

Be still my heart.

Two vintage models...too cute sleepwear.

Ever so glamorous...

If you look closely at the sweetly-styled nightgownin this photo, you will see why I think vintagesleepwear can't be matched today.

Look at all of the detailing...

So many aspects of the skirt and bodice look likesomething that could be worn out.

*giggle*

Doesn't this look like a still from someultra-glamorous Golden-Age era film?
